1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Antigen loss is a major mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy. MIC-A/B are stress-inducible ligands expressed by tumor cells that activate NKG2D on cytotoxic immune cells and mediate NKG2D-dependent tumor cell killing, yet the mechanisms underlying their reduced expression in glioma remain unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we investigated ectopic MIC-A/B in mouse glioma and identified USP14 as a key regulator through deubiquitinase screening. Proteomic, coimmunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and ubiquitination assays characterized the interactions among USP14, PARP1, and nuclear factor, interleukin 3 regulated (NFIL3), while an intracranial tumor model combined USP14 inhibition and immunotherapy to evaluate effects on tumorigenesis and antitumor immunity. We found that MIC-A/B increased CD8
